« Thursday, November 14,1991 Central Washington University VoL 10 No. 7 Reversal on vote by RHC 21 A resolution limiting the vot- ingpower ofthe Residence Hall Council was overwhelmingly defeated by its 35-member council last Wednesday. The resolution was made at a general meeting on Oct. 23, ft when approximately two- thirds of the RHC's members approved a proposal which would prevent the council from voting on any political issue. This resolution came after the student Board of Directors asked the RHC to take a stand on the proposal requiring a dollar service charge for maintainingCentral's student- run newspaper, The Observer. After discussion, RHC mem­ bers were unable to come up with a consensus. The inability to act prompted the resolution j to suspend RHC's power to vote f on political issues on campus. I Several council members were I upset after the resolution | passed limiting voting powers.

Basalt stepping stones and large pieces of granite from Vantage will add local flavor. Many other stones will come from an area in the high Cas­ cades near Mount Si. Total cost of the rock, including trans­ portation, is estimated at $15,000. A stream flowing through the garden will be fed from the irrigation ditch on campus.

By next April these two will combine to form a Japanese garden which is being con­ structed in the area west of Walnut Mall on part of the old railroad burm that runs through campus. Special efforts are beingmade to follow traditional Japanese design concepts, utilizing asymmetrical balance and vi­ sual weight of objects.

Page 2 Thursday, November 14,1991 The Observer ^ Halloween hellraiser, Hitchcock horseplay and a hurried harmony honey A Central faculty member received a real 'trick' from a Brooklane Village woman while taking his three children trick-or-treating, campus police said. As the man, his three children and another man, approached a house on Halloween night, a woman came out and began swear­ ing at the children. The man told police she called the kids "goddamn little brats," and told them to "get the hell away from here." The man said the woman also threw a snowball at them, but missed. Campus police later went to the apartment, but no one was at home. Officers said they went back to the apartment on other occasions, but found the building dark each time. On Saturday, a man involved in liorseplay' with friends at Hitchcock fell against a glass patio door and shattered it, campus police said. The man received a small cut on his neck, but refused medical treatment, police said. Housing Maintenance arrived at the scene to repair the damage, which was estimated at $100. On Sunday, campus police said they noticed two Central banners were missing from their pole attachments on Walnut Mall. Officers investigated the area around Stephens- Whitney for discarded banners, but found nothing. Another check showed that the rest of the banners were still intact. Police said they have no suspects at this time. A Living Group Advisor at Alford-Montgomery Hall CAMPUS COPS by Joe Butler contacted campus police on Tuesday because of problems with residents over a stereo. Police said the LGA had seen a man pounding on a room door because the residents of the room had been pounding on his wall. The residents said they were pounding on the wall because the stereo was being played to loud. The LGA told police that similar disputes had been going on all year, and she had tried talking to the man before, but he refused to answer his door and turned up his stereo. Officers said they con­ fronted the man, who said the pounding almost caused items on his wall to fall off. He was advised to turn down his stereo. The people in the other room were also warned not to pound on his wall or they could face malicious mischief citations. Officers also contacted neighbors, who said the stereo was not too loud, and the other people had pounded on the man's door first. The LGA and police said they are concerned that these problems could grow worse in the future. Campus police watched a car exit Student Village on Saturday and began trav­ eling at a high rate of speed. When police stopped the car the driver said she was late for a choir trip. She received a speeding citation, and was released. On Wednesday, an Alder Terrace man was seen by campus police entering the J-14 parking lot. Police said the man drove his car past two 'DO NOT ENTER' signs, past two Emergency and Service Vehicle Only signs, entered the Holmes Service area, and continued onto the Walnut pedestrian mall. Officers stopped the man, and he said a passenger told him it was OK to drive on campus. Police informed him the only time this was possible was when the signs are covered, which is at the beginning and end of a quarter. Police said the man was cited with driving on service roads without permission. From RHC / pg. 1 that it was not them who de­ cided to take away the group's power, but it was the entire body who made the vote. Denise Skaggs, RHC vice- chair, cast the sole executive vote. She said the original mo­ tion was misunderstood from the start. "The motion was misunder­ stood, the voters misunder­ stood it. As the executive voter, I agree with Wednesday's vote," said Skaggs. "I believe RHC's strength comes the fact that we are not 100 percent involved in politi­ cal issues." Also on the meeting's agenda was the replacement of the council's secretary, Ernie Wagner, who announced his resignation at the meeting. Elections were held that night for his position. Joe Butler, a representative from Kamola Hall was voted in to replace him, effective the first day of winter quarter. RHC Chairman John Brangwin is disappointed to see Wagner go, but hopes that Wagner will have more time for geology, his major. Brangwin al so hopes that RHC is going to gain with Butler. "Joe will bring different per­ spectives to our group," said Brangwin. "Joe has some qualities Ernie doesn't have, and Ernie had some that Joe doesn't have," said Brangwin. aai & I I £ 9{pptm6tr 20, 21, ZZ, 1991 WU. 10:00—5:00 p.m. Uiurs. 10:00—8:00 p.m. 9H. 10:00—5:00 p.m. Holiday Bill Meal TM Now $3.49 '4i •While supplies last.

• The Observer Thursday, November 14,1991 Page 3 'Cradle' dedicated landscaping breaks ground and horizon Stephen Neufeld/Observer 'Cascade Cradle' sculptor Gary Bates at the dedication. Ellensburg Blue Gemstones % u 7 —• Art of Jewelry 309 M. Peart, Ellensburg 925-9560 by Stephen Neufeld Staff reporter "Cascade Cradle" the newest addition to landscape art on campus, was dedicated last Thursday. "I want to share the joy of being on this giant sphere," said artist Gary Bates, who was honored at the dedication. Bates said he views his sculptures as a "thank you note to Van Gogh" and other great artists. He said it's like "pass­ ing the torch" of inspiration. President Donald Garrity said he hopes that this piece of work would be a part of a "growing crescendo of art on campus" which would add to the "qual­ ity of experience" of students. Bates, who is a maintenance worker at Yellowstone Na­ tional Park, is inspired by the natural forces at work around him. It is this inspiration that he translates into his sculp­ tures. It was 16 years before his dream of the public exhibition of his sculptures became a re­ ality. But since, his first exhi­ bition in 1986, his works have been exhibited in Taiwan, Boston and Los Angeles. It was nearly two and a half years after Central's art selec­ tion committee first met to choose works for the campus that Bates' sculpture was dedicated. Bates was among 109 artists whose work was recommended by the Washington State Art Commission to the art selection committee. After considering models for the project, three were selected as finalists. Bates' project was selected through the help of the Wash­ ington State Artist Bank. The Artist Bank is a list of over 6,500 artists on file with the Washington State Art Com­ mission. After his work was commis­ sioned, Bates actually started building the sculpture in Utah on Feb. 15, 1991 and it was installed on July 31. The top of "Cascade Cradle" rotates in the wind. According to Bates it takes a 46-mph wind to move the 2,363 pound top. From GARDEN / pg. 1 The gateway to the garden will be built in the traditional Japanese style by Dale Brotherton, a Japanese car­ penter from Seattle. Entry to the garden will be restricted to daylight hours. The garden is intended to be a place of learning, where class work in Japanese lifestyles and culture can be taught. Students will also have a chance to learn about Japa­ nese gardening techniques by helping in the maintenance of the garden. The project will cost an esti­ mated $205,000. Part of this cost will be covered by a grant from the Japan World Exposi­ tion 1970 Commemorative Committee for $51,000. The remaining funds will come from Central minor capital allocations for campus landscape improvements, money allocated by the state Legislature in the 1989 bien- nium, said Holman. Consulting on the project is Masa Mazano, internation­ ally-known Japanese land­ scape designer from Lake Os­ wego, Ore. Mazano has contributed to Japanese gardens in Portland, Spokane, and many others along the west coast. President Garrity and Di­ rector of International Pro­ grams Kelly Ainsworth were major proponents of the gar­ den project. Ains worth prepared the ap­ plication for the World Expo­ sition grant, and received $51,000 instead of the $ 10,000 that the exposition committee normally allocates to a project. If money can be raised, offi­ cials are considering adding a traditional Japanese tea house in one corner of the garden some time in the fu­ ture. A dedication ceremony is planned for mid-December, and most of the garden is scheduled to be completed by April 30, 1992. IMMpW mSSSSm&limlmSXSl mmm WSSSSZ.

Page 4 Thursday, November 14,1991 The Observer Affirmative Action subcommittee writes racial harassment policy by Marvin Rosete Staff reporter As college campuses become more ethnically diverse the need for making a clear-cut policy against racial harass­ ment and racial violence be­ comes necessary, said Nancy Howard, Central's director of Affirmative Action. A seven-member subcommit­ tee from Central's Affirmative Action Advisory Council is at­ tempting to write such a policy. According to Nancy Howard, the future policy will not only cover student conditions, but the interaction of all members of Central's community. Howard said Central is cre­ ating the polity for many rea­ sons. • The Higher Education Co­ ordinating Board of Washing­ ton State (HEC Board) has mandated all state schools de­ velop and implement a racial harassment policy. • The policy will be a positive indicator to people of color that Central is concerned with pro­ viding a hospitable climate in which all people can work and study. • Many campuses are looking at policies because of a rise in racial incidents nationwide, some of which are violent. "We need to provide assur­ ances when laws are broken that action is taken," Howard said. In October 1990,12 Japanese exchange students were taunted, had eggs thrown at them and were urinated on at Teikyo Loretto Heights Uni­ versity in Denver. Racially motivated beatings and rob­ beries were also reported at the university. In December, USA Today re­ ported about 300 campuses nationally have reported inci­ dents of racial harassment. According to the article, one in four minority students have been the victim of racial ha­ rassment. Some state schools are al­ ready coming out with policies. Western Washington Univer­ sity drafted a policy of racial intolerance. Central's subcommittee is examining codes and policies from other schools, such as The Evergreen State College, Penn State, University of Michigan, Brown University, and schools in the University of California system. The polity draft will be re­ viewed by the Affirmative Ac­ tion Advisory Council before it is forwarded to the president. Hearings will be conducted before the policy can be offi­ cially adopted. Prior to that time, people with comments and questions are encouraged to contact any of the committee members. Members of the committee are: Nancy Howard Keith Champagne, assistant vice president for Student Affairs and Diversity Jim Nylander, physical education professor Jimmie John, sociology pro­ fessor Carlos Reyes, assistant director of admissions Annette Weis, education major and Jennifer Fisher, Central ad­ missions intern. mm by Tanya Leitho.d Staff reporter Feminism, The'T Word In The fingflra. it's about pergonal clarity • . ,'rrv A4: Tickets available at the box office.

In addition to the Hunger Fast event, a canned food and clothing drive will take place next week, Nov. 18-22. Boxes for non-perishable food and clothing donations will be available at all dining locations on campus. Sponsored by the Human Rights Council, the purpose of the drive is to supplement the availability of supplies for the needy of the community. This is just another way of increasing "awareness to the general campus about human rights issues," said Seth Ward, a member of the Human Rights Council.

Quayle reflected the Bush Administration's belief that abortion is unacceptable and immoral, except in cases of rape and incest. The fundamental flaw in the vice president's argument, of course, is that he bases a fetus' right to life not solely on an intrin­ sic belief in the human- ness of the fertilized egg, but also on the circum­ stances through which the fetus was conceived. The obvious question for Quayle, and America, then, is whether his position concerning abortion reflects a moral conviction or nothing more than political expediency and social control.

The Observer Thursday, November 14,1991 Page? AIDS alarm should be top priority without Magic The subheading, "Magic sounds a sobering alarm," found in last Sunday's Seattle Times/Seattle Post- Intelligencer frustrates, saddens and angers me. Simply because a well- known and much-loved sports hero, Magic Johnson, has tested positive for the HIV virus, AIDS suddenly gained the top-priority attention that has long been overdue. The sobering alarm of AIDS should have gone off years ago. It should have rung loud and clear when thousands of people began dying. 'This really hits home," said Gerald Wilkins of the New York Knicks, in Sunday's article. "This disease came into our league and took one of our greatest players, a guy everyone loves. It should make a lot of people stop and think about the lifestyle they lead." Lifestyle evaluation because of AIDS is not, or at least should not be, a novel con­ cept. Granted, Johnson's shock­ ing situation will cause a lot of people to stop and think, but it is not a revelation. It is disheartening when human value is directly related to superficial celeb­ rity status and innate sexual preference. My main question is: Would finding a cure for AIDS be as high of a priority if it solely affected our country's homosexual popula­ tion? by Heidi Gruber Editor Unfairly and unfortunately, I think not. After Johnson initially announced he had tested positive for the HIV virus, he appeared on The Arsenio Hall show and announced, "First of all, I'm far from being a homosexual." The audience followed this statement with a loud and long applause. I do not know what Johnson's intention was when he made the above statement. But, the under­ tone of it is that because he is proof that AIDS is affecting heterosexuals, it is important to find a cure. A medical researcher in a television interview came right out and said that because Johnson is HIV positive, "we [researchers] really feel the pressure to find a cure for AIDS." What about the importance of finding a cure for AIDS because it kills people? Aren't those who contracted the disease before Johnson significant? I am appreciative of Johnson's willingness to turn his situation into something positive by working to educate people about AIDS and the importance of "safe- sex." But, at the same time, it is scary to think that it took a heterosexual celebrity's contraction of the HIV virus for AIDS to receive long- deserved and adequate attention. The horrible reality of this entire story is that if you happen to contract a rare but deadly disease as primarily our country's homosexual population did 10 years ago, your only hope for a cure is to pray that a popular "straight" celebrity contracts the same disease. Because it is only then that complete attention will be given and "real" work toward finding a cure will be vowed. Job positions at The Observer for Winter 1992 From LETTERS/pg. 6 Women don't have equal rights yet I read with interest Heidi Gruber's opinions of the women's movement, equality of the sexes, and sexual harassment. I under­ stand how she could inno­ cently believe that sexism no longer exists, and that women like Andrea Dworkin who conduct research on violence against women appear to be "concentrating on the inequities of the past than on the realities of the present." (Except, if Heidi did her homework, she'd realize that rape, battering and incest are very much issues of the present.) It may be difficult for some young women to believe that women still experience sexism when a recent study of the U.S. Department of Education indicates that women outperform men scholastically in high school and in college, continue on to college at the same rate as men, receive more college scholarships, and complete their undergraduate degrees more quickly than men. But what happens after gradua­ tion? Well, women get more of their fair share of some things — and less of others. For example, let's look at salaries. Right now women with college degrees earn the equivalent of men who have just completed high school. In 1975 women made 59 cents to every dollar a man made. In 1985 women made 66 cents on the dollar. Women earn less than men in almost every job category. In addi­ tion, they are more likely to be poor. The media has called it feminization of poverty. Women comprise a growing number of those individuals who live below the poverty line. This includes working women, many of whom are the sole source of income for their families, and the elderly who try to get by on social security benefits and/or welfare. The benefits and rewards which our society has to give are not distributed equally between the sexes. Women are less likely to hold posi­ tions of power, in both the public and private sectors. Women head fewer than 10 percent of Fortune 500 companies today and no more than 10 percent hold college presidencies. Women fare even worse in elective positions. Only two women are U.S. senators. And yes — women are more likely to experience sexual harassment in the workplace. (And I'm not talking about normal dating behaviors!) I'm talking about unwanted sexual attention which negatively affects working conditions to the extent that it creates an offensive and hostile environment. I'm talking about employees (mostly women) being grabbed, pinched, threatened with termination (or bribed with promotion) if they don't or do come across with sexual favors. I'm talking about having to listen to a boss' or co-worker's sexual fantasies or constant sexual innuen­ does. And I'm not just giving you "one woman's percep­ tion." The guidelines for determining sexual harass­ ment are clearly stated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. There's nothing "petty or trivial" about feminists standing up to protest such treatment. And it does the cause great harm when people such as Heidi trivialize the issue and treat it as if it were part of the normal male/female dating ritual. Women and men who know that inequities continue to exist for women in the workplace will continue to speak out. The reality is that the inequities still abound. In five or 10 years when Heidi has been out in the work­ place for awhile and had her share of experiences, she may see the value in speak­ ing out on those issues which will improve women's lot as well.

Page 8 Thursday,November 14, 1991 The Observer SCENE Art exhibit dedicated to professor by Lori Leitner Staff reporter Art is integrated into every part of society. Everything hu­ mans come in contact with are a product of someone's artistic ability. For some people, art is a ma­ jor part of their lives. Central psychology Professor Darwin Goodey is such a person. The Western Art Exhibit and Auction show held in Vancouver, Wash, was dedi­ cated to Goodey. The show ran from Oct. 18-20. "I was surprised and hon­ ored," says Goodey concerning the dedication. "It was a com­ plete surprise to me." Having been the president of the Ellensburg Western Art Association for 17 years, Goodey has had a lot of expe­ rience appraising art for tax purposes. His specialties are apprais­ ing Western and Indian art along with Indian artifacts. Goodey first became inter­ ested in Indian art as a child, when he lived near an Indian reservation, and an Indian gave his father an handmade gift. "It [Indian work] is so supe­ rior to what we do," commented Goodey. "So many things in­ corporate art into the world. What a dull world it would be without art." In his spare time, Goodey also tours art shows, traveling an average of 50,000 to 70,000 miles a year. Traveling from Vancouver to Portland to Eu­ gene to Seattle is a typical weekend for him. He also enjoys listening to light classical music and read­ ing. "I read every paper that is handed to me," Goodey laughs. What views does this profes­ sor have on life? "People are doing the best they can under the circumstances," Goodey said. "How can we cre­ ate better situations for the people? [It's] not easy to do, but it's easier than changing people." "If everyone gave a little more and asked for a little less, it would help make it a lot better world," he added. Generally, Goodey likes his work at Central. "I have a very supportive de­ partment [and an] outstand­ ing secretary," he said. "They [the department] can figure out what I want even when I don't know." Goodey's biggest pet peeve is students who don't listen. What annoys him is "how much time we waste in repeating things." Overall, Goodey is enthusias­ tic about teaching at Central. "I love my work here!" he ex­ claims.

Ill|f|§ tmm — i Central represented at national fashion show Professor Carolyn Schactler Instructs one of her many 1 students In the field of fashion design. by Michael C. Radice Staff reporter Central was well on its way to be represented on a national level when Clothing and Tex­ tile Professor Carolyn Schactler submitted a hand­ made jacket to a national fash­ ion show. The fashion show which was held in San Francisco, Calif. Nov. 1, was the result of a contest sponsoredby the Inter­ national Textiles and Apparel Association. The national contest encour­ ages instructors in college textile and clothing depart­ ments from around the country to enter garments they de­ signed and made themselves. The winners of the contest are chosen to be represented at the fashion show. Several hundred garments were submitted for the compe­ tition this year with Schactler'sjacketbeingpicked as a winner. "I really intended to enter the contest as sort of a dry run, to see what it was all about so I could design something won­ derful for next year's contest," said Schactler. She went on to note she en­ tered the contest late and the jacket she submitted wasn't anything especially fancy or elaborate. The "Campus Jacket," as she call s it was especially designed for Ellensburg winters. She describes it as loose fit­ ting and made so it can be easily worn over suit jackets or sweaters. As the director of the Central fashion design and construc­ tion program, she finds not many people know about their activities. "Our program is one of the best-kept secrets of the univer­ sity," she said. "It's a wonderful, compre­ hensive program, and our stu­ dents go on to be designers in some of the best manufactur­ ing houses in the country." Schactler went on to note two of her students work [design­ ing clothes] for Generra in Se­ attle two more at Pacific Trail and yet another at The Gap. Others, she notes, work for smaller boutiques all over the country. Aside from being a talented clothing designer and clothes maker, Schactler also finds time to play in the Yakima Symphony. Professor races to success by Susan Burke Staff reporter Like a lot of people, Ken Calhoun, professor of industrial and engi­ neering technology, spends his spare time working on his car. Unlike most people though the car Calhoun works on is his 1917 Alfa Romeo. The Alfa Romeo is what Calhoun uses for his other pastime, sports car road racing. Calhoun first became interested in racing back in the 60s as an observer of the sport. Once he had the opportunity, he persued racing and in 1975 he went to a special race drivers school which allowed him to obtain a special racing licence. The competitiveness of the sport is what Calhoun enjoys most. A member of the Sports Car Club of America, Calhoun also competes in two Northwest regional racing clubs. The circuit he regularly races stretches from British Columbia down to San Francisco. Typically, Calhoun races about six to 10 times per year on the Northwest circuit. He hasn't raced for the last two years, because he's been busy doing extensive work to the engine of his car. "After a 30 minute race you can expect to do about 40 hours of en­ gine work," explained Calhoun. Calhoun purchased his current racing car two years ago, and has been working on rebuilding it since. "It's been to nationals five times," said a proud Calhoun. He has only had the opportunity to race it once after he bought it, and then dove into working on the engine. The next racing season runs from mid-April through September and Calhoun expects to have his car ready to go. Calhoun's goal is to go to the national championships in Atlanta before he quits someday. The top three racers from each division are invited, but not many racers from the Northwest attend nationals. Calhoun said people don't go be­ cause it's a long way to tow a car, as well as spare engines, parts, and tools. Calhoun plans to continue racing Cecelia Calhoun and her husband Professor Ken Calhoun pose with his 1917 Alfa Romeo. C. t as long has he still enjoys doing it- a couple of years ago. an rec s a 70-year old man who "It's a fun sport you can do as you raced on the Northwest circuit just get older," said Calhoun.
9 The Observer Thursday, November 14,1991 Page 9 fy Susan Burke Staff reporter Although Central has a lot of activity clubs, there is one club you can have fun in while re­ ceiving practical work experi- ertc6 in tfteadV^ the Ad Club. "We aren't your typical club," explained Eric Zackula, club president, "We don't have min­ utes, we don't have old busi­ ness, we don't have new busi­ ness ... we do business." Last summer the club was given a client to represent with the objective of producing afull- scale advertising campaign. This year's client is Visa credit Once produced, the campaign is entered into a regional com­ petition to be held in April in Anchorage, Alaska, The club's campaign includes work-up of a budget, a market­ ing strategy and a creative strategy. "Everything that a regular ad agency would do—we do," said Zackula. In the regional competition Central will compete against 12 other schools. Each school produces a 50-page strategy/ plan book and will give an oral presentation which includes a slide show, story boards and audio tape. The schools will be judged by a panel of advertising profes­ sionals, as well as representa­ tives from Visa. Currently, the club is work­ ing on background research for its advertising strategy. "Most of the work happens in the winter," said Zackula. "It's an integral time for the club. We complete the book and put together the presentation materials for the competition," Central's Ad Club chapter has received extensive support from the Yakima Advertising Federation. "They made possible last year's competition," Zackula, The Ad Club is professionally affiliated with the American Advertising Federation. At the regional competition both the college and profes­ sional chapters will meet at the same time, "It's great," said Zackula. "We get to hobnob with profession- alsfromNike, Hanna-Barbera, Chevrolet, and other compa­ nies." The winner of the regional competition will go on to the national competition in Port- Nationals would be the icing on the cake," he said. "We'd be proud just to represent the club well at regionals " Winter quarter the commu­ nication department will offer four credits for Ad Club mem­ bers and the club will meet on a regular basis, four days a meets every Wednesday in SUB 105 at 7 p,m, and is open for anyone to Musical celebration for Veterans Day by Stephen Neufeld Staff reporter The United States Army Field Band and Soldier's Chorus, to­ gether with 700 civilians com­ memorated Veterans Day with a performance in Nicholson Pavilion Monday. The most popular numbers on the program were medleys: "Hooray for Hollywood," "South Pacific" and "Gershwin Memories." "God Bless America" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" were also well received stan­ dards. Central band director Larry Gookin was guest conductor for the "American Salute" in the second half of the show. "Hooray for Hollywood" fea­ tured well-known melodies from shows such as "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "M.A.S.H.," "Sesame Street" and others. Right price Right now The crowd nodded in recogni­ tion as the different tunes chimed in. "Gershwin Memories" fea­ tured early 20th-century pop tunes inc.luding"S'wonderful", "Summertime," and "I've Got Rhythm." Just before "God Bless America" about 70 veterans responded to the invitation to stand and be recognized by an appreciative audience. The encore featured country music performer Lee Green­ wood's song "Proud to be an American." In addition, the newest member of the Soldier's Cho­ rus is '91 Central graduate Barbara Wood, who sings alto. Wood wasn't in uniform on Monday because she had just completed her basic training and is still learning the music while she tours with the group. Her first performance will be Christmas caroling at the Pen­ tagon later next week after which the group will tour Canada and several southern states. The touring band was first commissioned in 1946 to help promote sale of war bonds fol­ lowing World War II and "to tell the story of our magnifi­ cent soldiers," said program narrator Master Sergeant Orvel H. Lee. The Veterans Day event was sponsored by The Daily Record, Central's music department and CWU Foundation. Rings & Save $125 Save $350 Save $600 302 N.

Page 10 Thursday, November 14,1991 The Observer 'Men's town' is a place where boys can be boys It happens every Thurs­ day night at 9:00. As soon as Sam Malone shows his face on the set of "Cheers" it's all over for me and any other female in the vicinity. High fives begin to fly and shouts of "Sammy" fill the air. I watch in amazement as the sensitive, politically correct boys in front of me are transformed into chauvinistic creatures of prehistoric thought. Welcome to "Men's Town." It isn't really anything new, it's simple male bonding. But, my friends call it "Men's Town"— a name they adopted from an episode of the TV program "Coach." And just the mention of "Men's Town" will launch them into a JILL JOHNSON Scene Editor state of euphoria. I asked one of my friends to tell me what this "Town" was all about, but he couldn't tell me. It's not because it is involves any secret ritual and it's not because he didn't want to tell me—he didn't tell me because he honestly didn't know. "It's nothing really," he embarrassingly said. But nothing or not, their loyalty to "Men's Town" is stronger than any sharp glance of disapproval I could ever possibly throw their way, and it far outweighs any feelings of commitment towards any girl they hap­ pen to be dating at the time. In "Men's Town" anything goes. Jokes don't have to be funny because no matter what, someone will laugh. Manners aren't necessary because none of the men will be offended-a few timely grunts will say as much as one well-communicated sentence. In "Men's Town" every guy is your buddy-and every girl is worth a second (sometimes third) look. All men are STEPS=Students and Staff for the Education and Prevention of Sexual Assault accepted, if for no other reason than for being a man. They don't have to be intellectual, they don't have to be sensitive and they don't have to do anything they don't want to do. "It's where men don't have to communicate because they already know exactly what each other is thinking," said another one of these manly- men. A few weeks ago these men spent a few hours out in the wilderness. Four guys dressed in flannel shirts, splitting wood for a fire. They were perfectly content- working hard-joking among themselves— being men. I like "Men's Town." I'm happy they have somewhere to go where they don't feel judged and there are no expectations. A place where they can go and be boy's— even if it is just in their head. "Men's Town" isn't meant to exclude women, it is used to bond men. I don't always understand it. But I understand that I don't have to-and for girls with men in"Men's Town," that's all we need to know.

The Observer Thursday, November 14,1991 Page 11 SPORTS Wildcats survive scare from SFU by Ron Munson Staff reporter FOOTBALL Central's football team will close out the regular season against Western Washington University this Saturday at 1 p.m., at Tomlinson Field. Central can wrap up an un­ precedented fourth straight unbeaten regular season, their fifth straight Mount Rainier League football title and their second straight NAIA national championship with a win over Western. Western can qualify for the playoffs with a win over Central and if Pacific Lutheran loses to Simon Fraser. It will be Central's No.l na­ tionally-rated offense against Western's No. 6 nationally- rated defense. And if all that doesn't add up to makingthis one ofthe biggest games this season, add that the Vikings and the Wildcats are arch-rivals and Western will be looking for its first vic­ tory over Central since 1978. Last week Central managed a 38-35 win over stubborn Simon Fraser. The Clansmen held a 35-28 lead over the Wildcats with just over nine minutesleftin the game. That's when the 'Cats got busy. The 'Cats put together two * Quarterback Beau Baldwin (17) passes for a school record 467 yards Tyson Raley (34) uncharacteristically drops a pass. dramatic scoring drives in the fourth quarter to turn away the Clansmen. The first drive ended with a 27-yard field goal by Darrell Roust, with 4:26 to play. Then came what some people have labeled as The Drive. Central's defense forced the Clan to punt and the drive started at its own 22-yard line. Beau Baldwin completed eight passes for 68 yards in­ cluding the game-winner to Eric Boles with four seconds left in the game. Boles, who put himself back into the game for the final drive despite a pulled muscle, led all receivers in the game with eight catches for 167 yards. His performance was the fifth best in school history. Baldwin set five school records, including passing yards (467), completions (32), and passing attempts (52). Baldwin also threw four inter­ ceptions. "I made some mistakes out there, mistakes that almost cost us the game," said Baldwin, who also fumbled on the Clan's one-yard line early in the third quarter. Central's running attack was limited after Kenny Thompson went down in the second quar­ ter with a pulled hamstring. Simon Fraser's 14-0 lead in the first quarter marked the first time the Wildcats have trailed an opponent all year. Thompson scored on a one- yard run late in the first quar­ ter after running the ball to the six-yard line on a 62-yard screen pass. The Wildcats led 28-21 at halftime Central's defense allowed 179 yards rushing and 132 yards passing. Central's offense gained 467 yards through the air and 176 yards on the ground. Thompson and Bole's status for Saturday's game was unde­ termined at press time. Quar­ terback Ken Stradley, out with a fractured finger, should see some action as Central pre­ pares for the playoffs starting next Saturday. 'Cat wrestlers start season with win by Greg L. Miller Sports editor Central's grapplers picked up where they left oflflast season, as they drilled Yakima Valley Community College 35-11 Nov. 1 in Nicholson Pavilion to open their 1990-91 wrestling cam­ paign. 126 pounder Curt Schroeder pinned Jason House ofYVCC at 2:36 in the first round to capture the Wildcats' first of­ ficial pin of the year. Jason Sharpe at 150, picked up the team's other pin, and 134 pounder Lee MacDiarmid scored the team's only techincal fall with a 21-3 thrashing in the match. Other winners in the opening match included: Tod Heikes at 142, Roger Shoup at 177 by injury default, Mark Bonthuis at 190 and heavyweight Chad Stussy. Brothers Jason and Sandy Stevenson, national qualifiers last year, sat out the match due to injuries. Sandy is expected to return to action Nov. 23 for the Pacific Lutheran University Open. Last year's nationally placed 118 pounder Nick Nastri also sat out the match and won't compete officially for the squad until January because of eligi- WRESTLING bility problems. Last weekend the Wildcats traveled to North Idaho to compete in the North Idaho Takedown tournament. Jason Stevenson was the only individual winner for the 'Cats at the tournament, wrestling at 150 pounds. "It was great to win it [the tournament], but you've got to keep it in perspective," Stevenson said, "It's only a takedown tournament." Coach Jim Heikes was happy with his team performance at the tournament. "It was a positive thing be­ cause the young kids did well and we had someone win it [individually]," Heikes said. Central would've finished in second place had team scores been kept. This weekend the team will travel to Canada to compete in the Simon Fraser University Tournament. Following the tourney the Wildcats will have a dual meet Nov. 22 against Highline Col­ lege. The 'Cats will stay on the road until Dec. 11 when they are scheduled to take on North Idaho College. mmm Wmrnm Wmk mm. wmmmi mm RH lililpfl mmmm. WMm. X*////.•/jfS.'f.'//.

Page 12 Thursday, November 14,1991" The Observer « Women's rugby: it's not what you might think by Courtney Daisley Staff Reporter WOMEN'S RUGBY Ask any woman and she'll tell you she's been stereotyped at least a few times in her life. Unfortunately for Central's women's Rugby Club, there is one particular stereotype that is very annoying — the stereo­ type that all the women on the team are fat, ugly and homo­ sexual. Amy Clausen, club president, wants to emphasize club members are none of those things. On the contrary, Clausen and her teammates are simply strong-willed, athletic women who formed a rugby club after watching their male counter­ parts in action. Clausen, a junior majoring in Spanish, thought the sport looked fun and after one quar­ ter of rugby class her freshman year at Central, she decided to start a club. After some strong recruiting at the end of last season, the club seems to be getting un­ derway this year with about 20 players. Four of these players, Roxanne Megorden, Christine Olsen, Jenna Fisher, and Nicole Seeling, along with Clausen, are the club's only returning players. However, the lack of experience on the team doesn't faze Clausen. "We're not very organized," she admitted, "but I think it's going to be a good season." The season Clausen refers to is broken into two parts. The first half of the season is being played now. Because of a scheduling mix- up though, the club has only played two games and they are 1-1. The club lost its first game against Gonzaga and won its second game against Whitman. The club's third and final game is this Saturday against Eastern at 11 a.m. in Ellens- burg. The second half of the rugby season takes place this spring. Clausen thinks the spring season shows a lot of promise. "Right now we're playing teams on our own level — be­ ginner teams," she explained. "This spring we'll tackle harder teams. We'll find out what it's really like." When Clausen mentions the club will be tackling harder teams, she's not just using a figure of speech. Breaking with another traditional stereotype of being delicate creatures, these women will be literally tackling one another. "It's full body contact," Clausen said. "We don't scrimmage with each other because we would feel bad if we hurt any of our teammates." Since 15 players are required on the field to play, hurting any of the 20 teammates is strongly avoided. Yet even if the players don't hurt one another, the weather will sometimes get to them. "It depends on if it's cold," Clausen said referring to the number of players on the team. •.v.v.-.v Walt Atkinson/The Observer Central's women's rugby club Is fast becoming a popular club sport for women at the university to compete in. It's a rough and tough sport, as shown here during a home match last month. "Right now we're playing teams on our own level — beginner teams ... This spring well tackle harder teams. We'll find out what it's really like." — Amy Clausen Women's rugby club president Regardless of the number of players on the team, Clausen manages to give the impres­ sion of a team that is dedicated to the sport and to each other. The players frequently spend money out of their own pockets in order to travel to other schools for games. Fortunately, the players have a club fund and hold an occa­ sional fundraiser as well to help ease any personal costs. Clausen encourages anybody interested in playing to come out and practice with the team, who will be happy to give les­ sons. No experience is necessary. So, for any strong-willed, ath­ letic women under the age of 25, Clausen and her teammates practice Tuesday through Thursday at 3:30 p.m. on the practice field.

The Observer Thursday, November 14,1991 Page 13 Visions of moguls dance in Powderhounds head by Courtney Daisley Staff reporter For those who love to ski, this year's early snow is enough to quicken pulses all over campus. Early snow means an early, and perhaps long season filled with moguls, K2s and frequent trips to the Slide Inn — Snoqualmie's finest bar. However, now that the snow seems to be retreating, an early season seems to be just wishful thinking. Yet this wishful thinking hasn't stopped Matt Johnson, vice president of Central's ski club — the Powderhounds — from making some positive predictions for the upcoming season. "I think we could be in for a good year," he said. "I think we're in for a cold and long winter," Johnson said. Johnson also had some predictions about the snow itself. "We should be getting some good snow, not the normal Cascade concrete snow," he said. "If the weather stays the same, the snow should be lighter and drier." This type of snow, com­ monly called "champagne powder," is something of a rarity for Washington. The concrete snow this area typically endures would be gladly traded in by skiers for cnnriofhiTur a little drier. To say that Johnson, 22, is an experienced skier is something of an understate­ ment. He's been skiing for the past 13 years. Johnson's parents started him on a hill by their house in Burlington with a pair of old wooden skis strapped to his feet. His first experience on the slopes was at Mount Hood, in Oregon. "It was a lot of fun," he said, "until I fell off the rope tow and broke my mom's skis." Johnson's skiing experi­ ences, and his equipment, improved dramatically as the years went on. Eventually, he became a ski instructor for Mount Baker Ski School and started skiing on K2 TVC's, one of the best skis on the market. Johnson taught kids rang­ ing in ages from 7 to 13. "It was great," he said of his four years as an instructor.

"The kids were great, I skied a lot, I skied for free, and my skiing got a lot better. It was one of the best experiences I've had." The time Johnson spent ski instructing helped pave the way for his next skiing endeavor — racing. In 1984 Mount Baker started a racing team on which Johnson clinched a spot. However, instead of racing a typical slalom course, Johnson branched off into speed skiing. Speed skiing — or bonzai skiing — involves going straight down a hill without any turns. Speed and time are crucial. However, this type of skiing proved to be a challenge Johnson eventually mas­ tered. His dedication to racing led him to be a two-time speed skiing state champion in '84 and '85. Johnson's racing days came to an end in '86 when he injured his knee playing football. Yet the finish to his racing days could be somewhat of a blessing. Last year, he founded the Powderhounds. By starting this club, Johnson is giving others a chance to learn and improve their skiing skills. Johnson's club is planning a ski trip to Red Mountain in January. For those interested in joining the Powderhounds, contact Eric Parker at 963- 7634. For anyone looking to learn or improve their skiing abilities, Matt Johnson and the Powderhounds is the place to so. photo by Grafton Smith Aspen's Tom Bowers cuts up the late morning powder on his favorite run during filming for a sequence for Warren Miller's "Born To Ski," something Central students belonging to the Powderhounds ski club hope to be doing soon. 4% Lets Discount For Bankcardi We Reserve The RlfM To Limit Quanities HOURSi .9:30 5:30 Sal. 1-5:00 411 N.

The tournament is single- elimination and all matches are the best-of-flve. Central enters seeded second in the two-day, six-team tour- VOLLEYBALL nament. With a first-round bye, Cen­ tral will play at 5 p.m. on Nov. 15 against the winner of a match between third-seeded Western Washington Univer­ sity and the sixth-seeded team, either Pacific Lutheran Uni­ versity or Lewis and Clark State College. If the 'Cats win, they will ad­ vance to Saturday's champion­ ship match at 7 p.m. A victory of their second match would earn them a District 1 volleyball title and a chance to go to Nationals. In order to travel to the na­ tional competition to be held in Kansas City, Mo., the Wildcats must first compete in a bi-dis- trict playoff match with the No. 1 team from District 2. Last week Central rallied to finish second in its district by defeating St. Martin's College, 3-1. The first two games went quick for the 'Cats, crushing SMC 15-3 and 15-3. However, in the third game they slumped-off and were de­ feated 13-15. In the fourth game, Central finished the match off, win­ ning 15-10. The team finished its season with a four-game winning streak and a 26-11 overall record. Seniors Shana Pepper, Lisa Huff and Daniel Wingerter led the team against SMC in kills with 11, 10 and nine, respec­ tively. Wingerter also had 24 digs, and Huff had eight blocks, in­ cluding four solos. Senior Michelle Hiebert helped the team along by dish­ ing out 49 assists. Overall, Hiebert has 1,123 assists.
